THE ANARCHIST CASE.

The dispatches yesterday morning an
no unced the decision In full of the Illinois
State supreme Court In the case Of the
seven anarchists condemned by the trial
court In Chicago. What the decision
would be has been matter Of much specu.
lation. and no case perhaps In the history
OF the country has ever been so universally
discussed by press and people. The mos,
remarkable feature of this widespread com
ment is the unanimity of sentiment among
the people. There has been practically
but one opinion and that was that The mis-
cradle miscreants who had been found
guilty after fair trial should suffer the
penalty imposed. The fate of the con-
demned men was virtually sealed when the
trial jury returned into court the verdict of
guilty, though they may not, even now, after
the decisi of the state supreme court has
affirming the finding of the lower court, be
executed On the day fixed in the last de-
cision, as they may succeed In getting an
appeal to the United States supreme court
Ii they should succeed in this 1t will only
extend the time of the execution of the SEN
tence. The hope of procuring a commu-
tation of sentence from death to life i'm
prisonment from Governor Oglesby Is a
forlorn hope. Governor Oglesby is a most
humane executive, but Governor Oglesby
is also an intelligent man and fully appre-
ciates the duty he owes to the community
In protecting the citizens from wrongs and
outrages as far as it lies in his power 50 to
do, and any interference on his part with
the process of the law, particularly In this
II after, the grsvest that has occurred in
this country In its nature, would be In d.
rect opposition to his official obligations as
well as the bent of his personol inclina
tons. Governor Oglesby like The rest of us
msy pity the poor deluded wretches, but
he can have no sort of sympathy for them
even In their extremity, were there room or
occasion for the indulgence of sentiment.
The whole matter, as far as the anarch-
lists and anarchism in this country is con-
cerned, may be summed up In the expires
sisn of Judge Msgruder of the supreme
court OF Illinois IN the opinion in the case
that This association subverts all law.

The utterances of Her Most upon hearing
the news Of the decision in the Chicago an
archists' case were but the rawlings of a
mad man, driven to frenzy by disappoint-
ment. He could not bring himself to ap.
preciate the awfulness of the crime his de
luded followers were guilty of, and per
suaded himself and others of his ilk that
the law was not strong enough or possessed
sufficient scope to deal with the offenders
in summary manner. But now that his
mind has been disabused on that point 1t is
hoped, for his own sake and OF those who
may still entertain his vagaries, that he
will at least possess philosophy enough to
circumscribe his course in future so as not
to bring about a repetition of the country
experience from the night of the Hsvmar
ket horror down to the moment of render
ing the decision by the supreme court of
Illinois.

The action of the New York Republican
state convention in selecting Col Fred
Grant for the head of the state ticket to be
voted at the election in November was well
timed and fitting to degree. The fact of
his being the greatest hero of the age was
not enough of itself to give him preference
for the position, but possessed of a full
measure of qualification and personal fit
ness for the Office of secretary Of state, as
he is, the fact mentioned only adds lustre
to the nominee and credit to his party.
The resolutions adopted by the convention
were likewise commendable, no less for
the absence of verbosity and high sounding
plstitudes than for their directness of pur-
pose and comprehensiveness of meaning
There ought to be no question about the
success of the party.

Great Britain, more particularly in Scot

a question whether on vote Of the United

THE fact that the interstate commerce
law is an advantage rather than detri
ment to railroad interests is shown by the
earnings of ~ percent over last year on
one hundred and four lines This increase
may not be attributable directly to the
efforts of the law alone, but that it contrib
uted largely towards that result there is no
doubt; and it is equally as evident that the
people have not derived any practical bene-
fit from said measures In the way of reduc
ed charges. When congress meets again,
therefore, the trainers of the law will pro-
perly be expected to tell how it has hap
pened that statute which was declared to
be especially calculated to lessen freight
and passenger rates has served only to
make railroad earnings larger by prevent
ing the rebates and similar concessions

Globe-Democrat: The large increase in
the volume of imports into the United

very fairly shown by the customs and du

tween January and the close August ag
gregate $101 657 622, as compared with
1913 SS3 561 In the same period in 1886,
and $50 669 090 in 1885 This reveals an
increase in customs of nearly S. 600 600 in
New York in the past eight months. There
has been a slight falling off recently in i'm
ports, indicating that the great flow of for
eign merchandise to this country has
passed its maximum point, for the time
being at least. The next export move
ment, however, appears to be we'll main

will largely increase soon on account of
